The former head of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, Dame Lowell Goddard, has criticised the remit of the investigation.

In a memo to the home secretary leaked to The Times, Justice Goddard said the scope of the inquiry was simply too broad and should be "recalibrated" more towards "current events".

Peter Saunders, founder of the National Association for People Abused in Childhood charity, said that if there were changes, people should not think that "the foot is being taken off the pedal".
